Bonsai Society something to shout about

Share this story

CAPE ARAGO, ORE - What they regard as good art for serenity, Bonsai was the word of the day at a recent event at Shore Acres State Park. The Bay Area Bonsai Society is now hoping to encourage more people to give it a try.

Literally meaning "plant in pot," Bonsai is a millennia-old art form in which a tree is shaped and cared for to reach a desired image.

Bonsai Society member George Ahuna has been practicing the art for many years and says he would particularly like to see more young people get involved with the growing hobby.

Their group meets once a month and you can call Kenn or Betty Kennedy at 267-7597 for more information.
